I did more or less the same, albeit with a longer break. Couldn't agree with you more. It was a hell of a culture shock coming back in. Sometimes I think angling has been dumbed down more than the GCE. (I bet that gets a few hackles raised!!). The rivers have far more good fish too, although ( maybe) not to the same extent.

And welcome to the forum.
